IMAGE: You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type


I can't figure what is the proper loader to load images in ReactJS webpack,

May you give me a hand? I get this error:

Module parse failed: /Users/imac/Desktop/fakeeh/imgs/logo.png Unexpected character '�' (1:0)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

Here is webpack config:

const path = require('path');


module.exports = {
  // the entry file for the bundle
  entry: path.join(__dirname, '/client/src/app.jsx'),

  // the bundle file we will get in the result
  output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, '/client/dist/js'),
    filename: 'app.js',
  },

  module: {

    // apply loaders to files that meet given conditions
    loaders: [{
      test: /\.jsx?$/,
      include: path.join(__dirname, '/client/src'),
      loader: 'babel-loader',
      query: {
        presets: ["react", "es2015", "stage-1"]
      }
    }],
  },

  // start Webpack in a watch mode, so Webpack will rebuild the bundle on changes
  watch: true
};

Much appreciated!!


Solution

  • I also encountered this problem too and I've found a workaround.

    First, you need to install the two loaders(file-loader, url-loader). e.g. $ npm install --save file-loader url-loader

    If you want to support the css. Make sure you install the style loaders. e.g., $ npm install --save style-loader css-loader

    Next, you update the webpack config, kindly check below my sample configurations. Hope it helps.

      module: {
        loaders: [{
          test: /.jsx?$/,
          loader: 'babel-loader',
          exclude: /node_modules/
        }, {
          test: /\.css$/,
          loader: "style-loader!css-loader"
        }, {
          test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|woff|woff2|eot|ttf|svg)(\?[a-z0-9=.]+)?$/,
          loader: 'url-loader?limit=100000' }]
      },
